  Episode 195: How the Fake Somm on 'The Bear' Learned Real Skills 30.07.2025 44分

  When The Bear first premiered, it was widely-hailed for accurately capturing the high-intensity chaos of restaurant life. With each new season, the show has dived deeper into the emotional complexities that come with working in the industry for characters who have made it their life's work. But, for certain viewers, it felt like the show was missing a crucial component—wine—especially when talking about a restaurant that is aiming for a Michelin star. On The Bear's fourth season, which premiered on June 25th, wine finally got its time to shine. Though food remains the central focus of the restaurant, wine finally gets its fair share of airtime in multiple episodes this go around.  In episode two, called "Soubise," Gary "Sweeps" Woods, The Bear's resident sommelier-in-training, meets with trailblazing former Master Sommelier and restaurateur Alpana Singh. Making a cameo as herself, the Chicago-based industry pro gives the burgeoning somm some hands-on tips. For this week's podcast, we invited both Singh and Corey Hendrix, the actor who plays "Sweeps," on to talk about what it means to portray a wine pro on television, wine stereotypes and what real representation in wine media actually looks like.

  Episode 192: What Does the Pope Drink? Inside the Vatican's Quietly Influential Wine Scene 04.06.2025 19分

  The May announcement of the first-ever American Pope, Leo XIV, still has the whole world buzzing. While Robert Francis Prevost's hometown of Chicago has its own distinct wine and spirits culture (Malört, we're looking at you), his move to Vatican City has landed him in the center of the biggest wine scene no one's ever heard of. That's right: The Vatican has a wine scene—and a secretly influential one, too. Surrounded by Rome, the tiny city-state is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church and homebase of the Pope. It's also the biggest wine importer per capita in the entire world, as reported by news and website editor James Bayley of the Drinks Business—making it roughly double that of France and Italy. We invited Bayley onto the podcast to discuss his recent deep-dive into how the Vatican became the world's most surprising wine powerhouse, and what the future may hold for Vatican-made wine.

  Episode 212: After 10 Grammy Wins, Norah Jones' Pivot to Wine Is Hitting the Right Notes 25.03.2026 26分

  With ten Grammy wins and twenty nominations, it's safe to say that Norah Jones has had a successful career in the music industry. The epitome of a multi-hyphenate artist, Jones has released nine solo albums, made appearances in movies like Wong Kar Wai's My Blueberry Nights and Seth McFarlane's Ted, and now hosts her own podcast, "Norah Jones Is Playing Along." Recently, Jones added another hyphenate to the growing list—she became part-owner of the French winery Maison Wessman, creating a line of wines she calls "This Life." Now, Jones isn't representing herself as a technical wine expert here—her focus is more based on taste, mood, and gut feeling. In that way, she views the business quite similarly to how she approaches music. There's overlap between the two art forms, and "This Life" seeks to draw a line between them: the rosé and crémant are marketed as "a melody in every glass." For this episode of the Wine Enthusiast Podcast, we were lucky enough to have Norah Jones stop by and chat with writer-at-large Matt Kettmann, who reviews wines from California and Languedoc-Roussillon—including Jones' This Life 2024 Crémant de Limoux (which received a score of 91 points). The two touch on how this collaboration came to be, how Jones settled on the "This Life" name, and new projects she has on the horizon. Is there a guest you want us to interview?

  Episode 182: Is a Neo-Prohibitionist Agenda Shaping Alcohol Policy in Oregon? 21.01.2025 31分

  For more than a year now, Wine Enthusiast Writer-at-Large Michael Alberty has been tracking a story about the Oregon Health Authority and some questionable PSAs it ran at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. At that time, the spots—running widely in Oregon—seemed at the very least heavy-handed and ponderous. At the worst, they indicated a growing influence of out-of-state lobbying groups bent on shaping Oregon's health policy. At that time, another "Dry January" period, we talked about how that particular social media trend had its roots in temperance organizations in Europe and the United Kingdom with much more radical agendas than new year/new you. One of them, Movendi International, traces its beginnings back to the 1800s in America and played a key role in instituting Prohibition (the first one). Alberty's full story, titled "The Neo-Prohibitionists Are Coming," appears in the upcoming Winter Issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Here, we delve into some of the details of his investigation. It's a fascinating lens into the discussion of alcohol and health (and politics) into sharp focus, especially not long after U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy issued an advisory on a potential link between alcohol and cancer. Is there a guest you want us to interview? A topic you want us to cover? We want to hear from you!

  Episode 138: Why Expanding Wine Education is Essential for a More Inclusive Industry 19.04.2023 50分

  Certification programs can be a great experience for those who want to learn more about wine. However, to make wine more accessible, the wine community has been questioning traditional educational programs as they currently are. With pricey courses and curriculum rooted in Eurocentric language, are certification programs creating barriers in the industry? Will expanding how we view education remove some of those barriers?
